At some point in every girl’s life, she realizes “pretty.” Life halts in its tracks; from this point on, she can never be sexless. She starts learning the game: that her body is a resumé (or a barrier). This change leads to a childhood vanished; a motherhood not lived, but spent pursuing a pre-pregnancy physical state; an identity stifled for the sake of the male gaze, which was never asked for.
Women can be happy in a way that’s not society’s definition of “a happy woman.” It’s not just about feeling sexy or physically beautiful—it’s about feeling like so much more than that.Amy Liu is a 16-year-old student from Houston, Texas.

These are really moving. I think it is such a terrible age when you realise you are percieved as a sexual being – a certain innocence is lost and I still wish I was still a kid sometimes
